Angel Hair with Tomatoes Basil and Garlic





This angel hair pasta recipe is probably one of the quickest you can find. Simple and savory.


You can add in-season vegetables from your garden


to add color and crunch.








1 pound angel hair pasta, uncooked


2 Tablespoons vegetable oil


1 Tablespoon minced garlic


5 cups tomatoes, diced


1/2 teaspoon basil


Salt


Ground pepper


3/4 cup chicken broth


5 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese








1. Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain.





2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for one minute.





3. Add tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.





4. Add hot pasta to skillet; toss well.





5. Add chicken broth and stir.


Toss with Parmesan cheese


and serve immediately.
What more do you need?





Saut茅 garlic in a little oil until soft, add tomatoes, salt and pepper, and simmer. Start the water for the pasta; add the pasta when it boils. At the same time, add minced basil and a little red wine to the sauce. Also some tomato paste if the sauce isn't thick enough. Pasta and sauce should be ready at the same time.





(I'm assuming your basil is fresh. If it isn't, add dried and wine with the tomatoes.)
Do you have onion? Saute your garlic and onion with salt and pepper. Then add your tomatoes and simmer. Then add basil towards the end of cooking time. And serve as spaghetti with your angel hair. If you like your sauce a little bit thinner then thicker you could add your sauce to a blender and blend it. But be VERY careful because it will be hot!


Hope this helps ya a bit ;)
